I'm Narrow on the Top...
Hey everyone, I found this pic (before braces) and it shows my narrow top jaw and wide bottom jaw quite well. I know I have already posted this pic at the beginning of my blog, but I wanted to point this out. My O.S. never said anything about an expander, but he did say that I need bone grafts on the top jaw. What is a bone graft exactly? I don't really know to be honest. Maybe it has something to do with my narrow top jaw? hmm...

Bone grafts are where they take healthy bone from another area of your body and implant it into your jaw (or wherever it's needed). I had a bone graft out of my right hip into my upper palate because I had a pretty large movement and my bone was thin and they were worried about the screws and plates holding. Another blogger I know, Chris, had a bone graft but they took it out of the rear of his mouth (like his wisdom teeth area, I gathered).
